Mobil gives way to Lukoil
It seems within the past month nearly every Mobil I used to see within a 30 mile radius along my route has been converted to Lukoil, prices have not been effected. Prior to this occurance I had never heard of the name.

They took over philly about the end of last year. There are still a few mom and pop shops left standing where I'm at so I always try to give them my business over these guys.

I started going to an american owned sunoco who always has very competitive prices. I could be wrong, but I think Luk oil is Russian.

Maybe if we're lucky some hot Russian strippers will be dancing on poles at the pumps while we gas up. |

Did anybody notice how the gas prices really started going up when Amoco and Mobil got replaced with BP and Lukoil? Just a coincidence?

GULF : Main st. Somerville
SHELL: 206/ Amwell Rd Hillsborough ALL AMERICAN!!!! |
yeah Luk is russian and they are actually one of the largest companies out there IIRC....
As you all know Exxon and Mobil merged a few years back... The stations I first noticed that converted were in Brick and those just happened to be Crown stations back in the day.. Might be a franchise related thing? All I know is my bike needs 90 octane and I thought the only options were going to be 87, 89 and super (92/93)... Sunoco sells 91 and they are the cheapest station in my area... woo hoo... |
Either Lukoil has bought out the entire franchise, or they've bought out just the mobil name. Personally I don't really care who owns the gas, I just care about the place with the average best price on regular!
